nah, user error. I must have seated the CPU incorrectly before putting the HSF on..that or maybe something was in one of the socket holes.
The thing is a b***h to fit on any mb though. I had to install my rear 120mm case fan on the outsdie and remove the PSU from the case to get it to fit. It did clear the capacitors and everything on my board though. But, the socket orientation on the Epox 4PCA3+ is not monstrous HSF freindly. I am thinking of getting a new case as well.
I am installing it in:
Epox 4PCA3 Mobo
Antec Super LANboy Case
